Abstract
According to certain embodiments, a method is performed by a repeater node having a forwarder (R-Fwd) and a mobile termination (R-MT). The method comprises receiving a beam indication from a network node. The beam indication indicates one or more beams. The method further comprises configuring an ON/OFF status of the R-Fwd based at least in part on the beam indication.
